@zeeg I like it for investigating customer support issues that have been escalated. Tag has MCP access to our data, codebase, etc.

I’m not aware of a trustworthy competitor but if there was one at a fraction of the cost then that would be interesting!

How is everyone running & testing components built on top of AWS? The solutions for running these locally aren't plug-and-play

@mikehostetler They’re dead

@eileencodes you should use the MCP and a LLM!

[Paul Enz @paulenzCH]

@DhruvShetty_18 @elonmusk this creates a lot of problems too.

@milkrabbi more!

There seems to be wide consensus on X that Warcraft: Forever has missed the mark already..

Negatives include but are not limited to:
- Having a beta
- being named 'Forever'
- Undead paladins
- New race of differently colored, blue elves

Blizzard staff are out of touch.

Most of the easy structure in code just gets written for you now.. scaffolding, boilerplate, the obvious loops.

What's still hard is the judgment call. Is this the right design? Should the system even look like this?

That's still real engineering. You just spend your week in a different place.

The useful skill is knowing which details you still refuse to outsource. Don't be a meat proxy for a machine.

@MrGMYT > • Undead Paladin
That doesn't make any sense.

The Hugging bay, The Pirate bay for open LLM's, model weights downloadable with torrents.

This is a game changer.

@chron1clepro @WilburJaywright @elonmusk @grok @bot I'm going to try having tasks delegated to Cursor cloud agents where possible, but most of the work I have the bots doing has nothing to do with code so... I'm not sure this will help unfortunately!

[Paul Enz @paulenzCH]

@chron1clepro @WilburJaywright @elonmusk @grok @bot I've only used Grok Bot, I have a Codex + Claude sub for coding/purely professional use.

I've had to upgrade to Cursor Pro+ to stop burning money with on-demand. It seems to have more usage than X Premium+.

But both are pretty low!

[Paul Enz @paulenzCH]

@chron1clepro @WilburJaywright @elonmusk @grok @bot I'm also experiencing extremely fast usage burn on the X Premium + sub. It's not usable all week for my fairly light demands.

@MatthewBerman @bot @SpaceXAI Medication Bot - it keeps track of my emails to and from doctors, tracks prescriptions, and reminds me to request a new script or reply to an email 🙂

@MattPRD @Muse Not available in Switzerland but I’d like to try it out

There is a seemingly endless line of these people

I left Anthropic's safety team two weeks ago. Now feels like a good moment to explain why.

AI companies are racing to build machines that are much smarter than any human, and we may not survive this. I want to work from the outside to ensure the public is informed about these risks, and help the world navigate this transition responsibly.

Right now, AI companies are underinvesting in safety. A company could undergo an intelligence explosion, or lose control of its systems, without the public ever knowing. We only found out about the HuggingFace incident because the agents broke out onto the public internet.

I don’t think that’s acceptable for a technology that might cause extinction-level risks. The public should demand far more transparency. We can’t steer this technology safely without more people being able to see where it’s going.

Some of this is basic: companies should disclose their progress towards recursive self-improvement, report safety incidents and near-misses, meet minimum safety standards, and get independent guarantees that they are meeting those standards.

I’ll be joining @METR_Evals to do independent evaluations of these risks. I want to show the world that these guardrails are possible, and that by doing them we can move these companies’ incentives away from racing and towards responsible development.

I wrote up more thoughts here on my decision and what I hope changes: https://t.co/doX17mrHYq

@athyuttamre Fix whatever this is. I spend >80% of my walks asking for status and being told that gpt is “checking”

@larsencc @bot GitHub connector doesn’t work for me

[Paul Enz @paulenzCH]

@ChrisRinvesting @mil000 Really? I’m wrong so! Afaik usually that isn’t the case 🙂
